Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Egypt

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $42,399 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. It sits 0.6 points above the Shelby County average of 4.3. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Memphis eviction risk as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract. Social vulnerability reads 9.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,224, close to the Memphis average.

48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
